And with him they still might. Stay tuned. That does not take away from the fact about all the wrong reasons he is playing Ranji after announcing his retirement from the FC game a couple of years back only to be back for his selfish gains i.e getting ready for the IPL.
He has 'unretired' from FC cricket because the team needs him. Seriously!

Most of the juicy bits are not politically correct for a reputed site to publish. For example, the 'cheater, cheater' chants that were reverberating all around the stadium after Kohli was given out. They got resurrected after Raina got out and finally reached a crescendo after the umpire declared Jadeja out only to retract his decision. The way the crowd 'boo-ed' every West Indian wicket that fell. The way Hyatt was heckled by the crowd when they called him by every 'hotel' name they know. I can liberally say all that at ICF, but cricinfo has to edit out those bits. Thanks for telling me about the 'Fan Following' section. :-)
No need to thank. It was your great write-up that got published. Maybe you can start your blog...or continue on cricinfo...or here at ICF. Its always a great reading. Still hoping that you get your visas cleared & be at day 1 down under......& give us great insite from 1 of the stands in Australia stadiums & we can see if fans behave the same

Manny - It's true that ICF offers you all the freedom to write, which is a great thing. And also a bunch of pretty sensible readers. Phaedrus - Thanks Man! Sabby - I am sure the cricinfo writers are pretty good as well (they do an awesome job with the commentary); it's just that professional writing has too many limitations. Glad you liked my write-up! Coolsach - Thanks. The idea is to be as prolific as possible, but I am tooo lazy :-(

Good one but I have to agree with you, not the same feel as the ones you wrote for ICF Talking of restrictions, i feel that page2 of cricinfo is pretty laid back compared to the articles on the real site.
